Dayitt too shrewd For the Police.

DUBLIN, June l2.-In consequence
of the government proclamation for
bidding the meeting announced to be
held at Bodyke to day an extra mill
tary force was drafted into service to
enable the authorities to enforce
the proclamation. Michael Davitt
eluded the authorities, however, and
addressed 5000 persons at Feakle
while the soldiers were searching for
him. He afterward spoke at s "arlff.
He asserted the peoples right of
meeting in public, and said that if
the people were armed they could
deal with the "black-coated burglar
brigade as they deserved.
In his speech at Scariff, Mr.. Da-
witt denied having counseled in his
recent speech all Bodyke any further
resort to extreme violence. The peo-
pie being without weapons, such ad-
vice would have been criminal. He
had only maintained that it would
be cowardly, when the tories were
actively carrying out a policy of ex-
termination, nQt to show every RAJ
tional resistance. Such resistance
would win thes,sympathy of ma
jority of the ,eople of Great Brit
ain, whose hearts were on the side of
the tenants defending their home
steads. He expected that this would
be the last meeting which he would
have chance to address before the
coercion act would again indulge him
with the luxury of prison plank
bed. Before going into political re-
tirement for six months he would
give them this advice Boycott the
inquisition clauses of the coercion
act and welcome imprisonment rath-
er than assist the government to
make the act operative" He con-
cluded by denouncing the land bill
as coming from q government OF
landlords, who were serving their
own interests first and Ireland's a
long way after.

Two Young Farmers Wounded in Hos
tile Meeting Prompted by Jealousy.

OTTAWA, o., June IA SPECIAL. -
Two young men, at X alida, town
near here, have fought duel in
which both we're wounded. John
G. Grochus and Thomas Timberlake
aged respectively 81 and % years,
were in love with the same girl--a
Miss Mary Bring, handsome and ac-
complished-the belle of the village
Timberlake looked with jealous eyes
upon Grochus and the attentions of
latter to the young lady became so
noticeable as to attract the gossip
of the place, he sent his successful
rival note warning him to desist in
his course under penalty OF death.
Grochus replied that he would rath-
die than give up the girl he loved !,
and that, as Timberlake appeared
to be spelling for fight, he had
better name his weapons and Sec
onds without delay. The CORES
pondence ended in arrangements
being made for duel Revolvers
were chosen as the weapons, and
early in the morning few days ago
the men with mutual friends met in
grove not far from the village of
Kalida.
The combatants were stationed at
distance of twenty-five yards and
the signal to fire given in tremb-
ling tone by one of the witnesses.
At the first discharge Timberlake's
pistol missed fire, but Grochns shot
to kill, the ball from his revolver
passed through Undertakes coat
and lodging in tree just beyond.
At this juncture the Grochus party
desired cessation of hostilities, but
| Timberlake insisted that one more
round be fired. After much wrang-
ling this was agreed upon, and the
two determined duehsts resumed
their places. The word was given
and the sharp report of the revolvers
rang out again on the morning air.
| Grochus was wounded in the lower
part of the body and Timberlake re-
ceived the ball in the region of the
stomach. Both are somewhat badly
hurt. Doctors were called and their
wounds received proper attention
The young fellows shook hands at
ter the affair and agreed to bury the
past and allow the girl to choose
whichever one of the two she prefer
red.

Wheat Catches Them.
FAILURES IN MILWAUKEE.

MILWAUKEE, Wis, June l4.--Such
scenes of wild excitement as were
witnessed on Change to-day have
never been known here. When the
break in wheat came everybody fran
tically tried to sell wheat and nobody
wanted to buy. In short time July
wheat had sold off from 500 to III,
while September dropped from IS to
75a.
Shortly before noon Hill, Flertz-
helm e. Co. were compelled to an
nounce suspension. Their suspen-
sion dragged down Hooker, Critten-
den & Co. and Frank Wilson, Hill,
Flertzheim e. Co. claim the money
needed by them will be forthcoming
to morrow, in which event Hooker,
Crittenden & Co. and Frank Wilson
will also resume.
John Wilde, broker, announced
his inability to meet margins this af-
ternoon. 1t is believed other houses
will find themselves in deep water.
Much money has been lost here in
small amounts that in the aggregate
represent a large sum. The bear ell
ement is strongest on the local board ,
but that crowd is not feeling very
jubilant, having been whip-sawed in
the deal.
The bull crowd had exacted diff
ferences all along the line of adj
vance, and now that the time has
come to make up differences the 9th
er way is unable to meet them, so
that the peculiar spectacle is pre-
sented here Of both bulls and bears
being singed at the same time.

greater pomp, consents to assume
the state robes and to be surround

The North German Gazette, in an

and expresses the hope that these
relations, founded on mutual conf

marriage Of the Princess Royal and

will be maintained in the future.
''The German people," the Gazette
continues, "have sentiment of sym
pathy with the worldwide empire Of
England, admire without envy the
conquests of English genius and wish
the illustrious ruler q long reign to
the advantage of her people"

A Passenger Beaten and Robbed at
Kent, O. The Thieves Captured.

RAvENNA, o., June 1l.-Portage
county is again the base of opera.
tions of a tough gang of highway
men and robbers, although not
equaling the murderous shooting
afIray of February 4th, last,in which
Detective Hulligan, OF Cleveland,
met his death and Captain Hoehn
nearly met the same fate at the
hands of the McMunn gang. This
time the scene is Kent, small town
five miles west of here at which place
the G. A. II. held big celebration
yesterday.
As train No. 3, on the New York,
Pennsylvania and Ohio, pulled into
Kent last night, John Webster, of
Warren, a passenger, was accosted
by man who dropped silver dol
lar in the car near where Mr.. Web
ster sat. Webster stopped to pick
it up, when he was attacked by four
men, who, after desperate strug~
gle, succeeded in taking his pocket
book containing SIG, overlooking
$3.50 in an inside pocket. No effort
was made to capture the robbers by
the passengers, and they escaped.
Mr.. Webster pursued his journey
westward.
Officers at Kent were notified.and
about 10 o'clock four men answering
the description of the thugs were
seen on the steps of the Continental
Hotel. Marshall Logan, Deputy
Archle Logan and Officer Byron
Newberry attempted to arrest them.
Two of the men quickly submitted
but the other two took to their
heels, with Newberry after them.
One was captured, but the other
made good his escape. The captur-
ed thug was returned to the hotel,
where the other two were under the
watch of the officers. Upon being
brought together they all seemed to
realize their position, and almost
simultaneously they pulled revolvers
but the officers were to quick for
them, and after q desperate hight In
the hall of the hotel the men were
lying in heap on the floor weller
ing in their blood.
A strong watch was kept over
them all night, AMI to-day they were
safely landed in Jail here. They
gave their names as James Williams
of Michigan, 40 years old; George
Jackson, of st. Louis, Al years old,
and Edwin Lovejoy, of Michigan, 30
years old. Detective Captain Nc
Harmon, of Cleveland, has notified
Sheriff Sheldon that he will go at
once to Ravenna, he believing them
to be the men whom the police are
after.

Strikers Attack Workmen.

CLEVELAND, June l4.-The strike
on the ore docks Of the New York,
Pennsylvania and Ohio Railroad cul-
minated in riot this afternoon.
About a month ago the men who load
ore int } the cars at the docks struck
for 50 day, an advance of 25 cents.
Since then their places have been
filled by colored men from the
South and foreigners brought here
from Chicago. For fortnight the
workmen have been given police pro-
lection, as the strikers, who are
Irish, have threatened to drive them
out of town. This afternoon George
Vactor, colored porter at the Cen
trail Depot, took Superintendent o.
Brien, of the New York. Pennsvl-
vania and Ohio Road, his dinner to
the docks. The strikers, who had
congregated in large numbers, at
tackled him, and knocking him to
the ground, beat him in a terrible
manner, and would have killed him
had they not been driven away by
the police. At the same time John
Mannion, living on Division street,
started home to dinner. He is I'M
loading ore from vessels and is not a
striker nor a "scab." lie was as
sAulted, however, and had his leg
broken. The police called for assis
lance and patrol wagon dashed to
the scene, and the officers dispersed
the mob. The railroad company,
seeing that they would have to act
quickly to prevent bloody scene,
loaded their imported colored men
into train, and amidst a shower of
bricks and ore started away to the
suburbs. John Joyce, one OF the
men who assaulted Vactor, has been
arrested.

OUR WASHINGTON LETTER.

The perils of sea going would
seem to be infinite and incalculable.
An investigation of the Celtic-Bri-
fannie collision shows that there
was little fog, that the commanders
of the vessels saw each other when
they were mile or two apart, that
one of them was standing still,
and yet that they collided in such a
way that the instant destruction of
both was threatened. These facts
result from the testimony of the cap
tains themselves. Are we to assume
then, in the language of the Anchor
10 captain, that passengers general
" escape death "because the ocean
is so big.n
Moreover, saltwater crimes are
considered peccadilloes. The cap
tains ran those great steamers to-
gether, imperilling the lives of hun
dreds of passengers, and the Naval
Court finds that they both violated
the rules governing seamanship,an
so they are-what? Hanged at the
yard-arm Imprisoned? Dismissed?
Fined? No, none of these. They
are "censured I" Apparently they
are to be left in command; allowed
to retain their responsible positions,
with other thousands placedat their
mercy every yearl Will the public
be content with such flippant indif
ference to their safety?
The June returns of the Depart
ment of Agriculture indicate a re-
duction of nearly two per cent. in
the area of winter wheat, and re-
duction also in quality. The gener-
al average for spring wheat is also
lower than in recent years. The
acreage of barley, oats and cotton
has increased. The condition of
cotton is higher than in any June
since 1886, 96.9, and has only been
exceeded three times since 1870.
The Board of Railroad and Ware
house Commissioners of the State
of Minnesota has transmitted to the
Interstate Commerce Commission
q petition from the Boards of Trace
of the cities Of Pennington, North
field, Fairbault and Owatouna charg
ing the Chicago, Milwaukee and St.
Paul Railway, with unjust discrimi-
nation against the above named cit.
les in charging eighteen cents per
ton on mill products to the Missis-
sippi River, when seven and one
half cents are charged for like SER
vice from st. Paul and Minneapolis.
Postmaster General Villas has is
sued an order directing the post
master at Chicago to deliver no more
registered letters to the Chicago
Farm Journal, and to cash no more
money orders for it. Orders will be
issued excluding the publication
from the mails at second class mail
rates. This action is based on evil
dence submitted to the Postmaster
General convincing him that the
publication has no genuine subscrip
ton list, and is not legitimately a
newspaper.
John p. Campbell, the newly-ap-
pointed Consul to Mamatave, Mad
agascar, reports to the State Depart
ment that he met with a cordial re-
ception upon his arrival at that
port. He was welcomed by the dig
nitaries of the island and presented
with bullock, six chickens and two
geese as token of esteem by the
